Sometimes (Lester Piggott)
There's a storm outside and the gap
between crack and thunder
crack and thunder
is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters
and makes a great sound on concrete
On a flat roof there's a boy leaning
against a wall of rain
aerial held high,
calling
"come on thunder, come on thunder"
sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
it's a monsoon, the rain lifts lids
off cars spinning busses like toys
stripping them to chrome
Across the bay the waves are turning
into something else, Picking up fishing
boats and spitting them on the shore
The boy's hit, lit up against the sky
like a sign, like a neon sign
Then he drops, cut strings, legs twitching
into the gutter
the flood swells
his clothes and delivers him on
delivers him on
sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
There's four new colours in the rainbow
an old man takes polaroids
but all he captures is endless rain
endless rain, endless rain
He says listen, takes my head
puts my ear to his
and I swear I can hear the sea.
sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I can see your soul
sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I can reach your soul
sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I can touch your soul
(sometimes) I can reach your soul
(sometimes) I can touch your soul
